11 teams began an epic adventure. Along the way, teams soared over Chile, battled in Portugal, lunged into the Arctic, and roared through Abu Dhabi. The Express Pass was leverged by Tim & Marie, and U-Turns were used... against the Afghanimals.

7 teams were eliminated.

Within the final 4, Jason & Amy and Nicole & Travis bonded, while others battled. Through U-Turns, stolen taxis, and heated battles, the 4 teams still survived.

Jason & Amy were very consistent through the race and in their relationship. They had 5 2nd place finishes before finally managing to get a first place finish.

Nicole & Travis started the race as power parents, excelling in challenges and strategies. In recent legs, Nicole has crumbled under pressure. They still managed to get into the final 4.

Tim & Marie proved that you don't have to like each other to work well together. They fought a lot... With Marie leading the way, they earned a spot in the final 4.

Leo & Jamal were loud and obnoxious (and still are ). With early stumbles and surviving 2 U-Turns, they appeared poised to take control with a few 1st places. Instead, they barely hung on and now face a speedbump in the final 4.

Coming up tonight, one of these teams will win $1 million and The Amazing Race.

Jason & Amy depart 1st at 1:25 AM. Fly to Tokyo, Japan. Once landed, proceed to Gotokuji Temple where there will be a bunch of ceramic cats. Once there, they will find their next clue. Amy is doing flight research. They want to make sure that Nicole & Travis make it in the final 3 as well. They want all teams to be on the same flight.

Tim & Marie depart 2nd at 2:25 AM. Tim says they have a bunch of skills.

Afghanimals get on the 6:10 AM flight. All the other 3 teams assume that Afghanimals will get on their 6:20 AM flight... but they don't. Tricky Afghanimals.

Leo & Jamal are first in Tokyo. Second flight lands at 6:17 AM. Jason & Amy and Nicole & Travis got taxis, but their taxi drivers don't know where to go. Marie did research and she has the address, but she doesn't have a taxi. She won't give out the address until she gets a taxi...

Nicole & Travis want to leave, but their taxi driver thinks that all 3 teams are together, lol. Tim & Marie finally get a taxi, and then all 3 teams leave.

Travis doesn't like that they had to wait for Tim & Marie. Marie isn't surprised that their alliance thing isn't working well so far, lol.

Afghanimals' taxi driver misses the entrance. Afghanimals ask the cats to bring them good luck lol. Detour: Knock It Down or Call It Up. In Knock It Down, teams will be human bowling balls. In the other detour, teams will make a call in a telephone booth with goldfish...? No regular detour introduction.

Afghanimals choose Knock It Down because after season 20, they're dying to do a Japanese game show. Afghanimals figure they're in 1st.

None of their taxi drivers know any of the locations, lol. The drivers refuse to separate from each other. What a disaster. All the taxi drivers want to follow each other... This reminds me of season 19's leg 11, lol.
